Forget all this shit about brave performances and gallant losers. We were cheated, simple as that.
The anger after Wayne Barnes' performance short changed us against South Africa has now paled into insignificance. What with all this talk of betting irregularities in cricket etc, I wonder what the odds on a red card were?

It was an excellent effort, and we still could have won, but we would have destroyed them without that shocker of a decision from Rolland.
